Some answers do not need a committee.
The NUTS. Bastogne WW2 Shirt is built around one of the most famous replies in American military history. During the Battle of the Bulge, surrounded at Bastogne in December 1944, the Germans demanded surrender. Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe’s answer was one word:
NUTS.
This shirt keeps it simple. A snow-covered combat helmet, Easy Company spade, Bastogne road sign, and distressed field-stencil typography give it the look of something pulled out of an old footlocker, not a museum gift shop.
Printed with a worn WW2 surplus feel, this tee is for the guys who understand that sometimes the best answer is short, rude, and final.
